My Best Buys For January 2019
Quick little post today on CCG and it’s all about my best buys for January! Did you shop any of those post Christmas sales? I sure did. So read on to see which buys made my list for January.
Best Buys For January 2019
1. Kate Spade Reese Park Tweed Bag
I just adore this little bag. Luckily I purchased this right after Christmas with a 40% off sale code which is no longer available. However, it’s still a great price for this tweed beauty.
A little on the pricey side, nevertheless, this Ganni jacket is what dreams are made of! Not only is it the perfect shade of pink, it’s suuuppperrr warm. I love the drawstrings at the waist to give it a more fitted look and it has deep pockets to hold a pair of snow gloves. I wore this to Lake Tahoe and it kept me comfortable in the snow.
3.Boden Classic Lips Print Shirt
What a fab find for Valentine’s Day coming up! You will see how I style this top on my Instagram feed shortly. This is an inexpensive way to get in the V-Day spirit and oh so cute.
4. Sweaty Betty Ski Base Layer Set
Okay, okay, okay! I LOVE this base layer set! I wore it to Lake Tahoe and even running errands back home. It’s the most adorable ski base layer but also works well for yoga, ballet class and even a brisk run outdoors. You can see me wearing them on my Instagram profile, here.
5. J. Crew Suede Driving Moccasins in Pink
Who doesn’t love a pair of loafers and pink for that matter?! Am I right or am I right? I wear these with jeans, dresses and even skirts. They are so versatile, comfortable and classic. I am a huge fan of loafers and these are my new favorite! J.Crew also makes a suede version, here, and it comes in oodles of colors!
6. Hatley Bear Bum Union Suit Pajamas
Yes that’s Emma and I posing in our bear bums! I scooped these up in a boutique in Lake Tahoe but lucky for you, I found them online! Click the link above to get a pair! They are so darn adorable!
What was your best buy for January? Before I end this post, I would love if you have any questions for me to leave them in the comments or message me! I have a new segment on CCG starting Friday and it definitely involves follower participation! So stay tuned! Have a great week everyone.

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This is an insanely easy way to make Raspberry Lemon Tarts with minimal steps and ingredients! As much as I love making lemon curd from scratch, sometimes, it’s just nice to cut some corners!
•6-7 oz of Lemon Curd (I used @mackays) you will have left over. I showed the second half of my tarts being made.
•2 packs of puff pastry
•8 oz of whipped cream (I made my own with heavy whipping cream and a little vanilla extract and sugar)
•20 raspberries
Preheat the oven to 400°. Using a cookie cutter or top of a cup (approx 2 inches), cut circles out of the puff pastry. Place the circles of puff pastry into each mini muffin pan cup. Don’t forget to spray the mini muffin pan with nonstick spray like avocado oil! Place on the oven for 10-12 minutes. In a bowl, add the lemon curd and whipped cream and mix well. Stick in the refrigerator until the puff pastry is baked and cooled down. Add the lemon mixture to the puff pastry cups (tip: take a spoon after the puff pastry comes out of the oven and push the centers in). Add raspberry to the top and a little powdered sugar and there ya have it! Super easy, mini bite size desserts that are perfect for that Mothers Day brunch coming up! #puffpastry #minidesserts #easyrecipes
It’s that time of year where I can wear white pants again 🙌🏻🤣 Yay for Spring….
Always sad leaving our favorite camping spot…we’ve been bringing the kids here 2-3 times a year for the last 5 years and it never gets old. Sure, we could bring them to SoCal, where it’s warmer and packed with a crap ton of people. However, we much prefer the cooler weather (helps with my POTS), rocky cliffs, less people and you travel through the redwood forest (which looks like a storybook). We love it up here and fantasize about moving somewhere like this once Nicky graduates. See you in June Westport….
In my happy place for a long weekend….Comment COAST and I’ll send the link for this cute sweater (comes in East Coast too)!

I just binge watched Renovation Aloha and now I NEED another trip to Hawaii. It doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for us this year with Emma going to Boston for singing (we are tagging along for the last week). Buuuutttt, if we were to go……Which is your favorite and why? Big Island or Kauai? We’ve already been to Oahu and Maui and I love each of them for different reasons. PS, I painted all my doors in the house blue on a whim and I think I love them 💙
